About Mark Tullius

"If you want to get to know me and my writing, come check out my podcast Vicious Whispers. I’m an open book and have no issues being vulnerable, looking at my mental health and other struggles. As a reward for making it through my babbling, I share my short horror stories, chapters from science fiction and suspense novels, as well as excerpts from nonfiction at the end of each episode.

My writing covers a wide range, with fiction being my favorite to create, a dozen or so titles under my belt. There are 4 titles in my YA interactive Try Not to Die series and 16 more in the works. I also have two nonfiction titles, both inspired by a reckless lifestyle, playing Ivy League football, and battering the hell out of my brain as an unsuccessful MMA fighter and boxer. Unlocking the Cage is the largest sociological study of MMA fighters to date and TBI or CTE aims to spread awareness and hope to others that suffer with traumatic brain injury symptoms.

I live in sunny California with my wife, two kids, three cats, and one demon. Derek, he pops in whenever he’s tired of hell and wants to smoke weed. He makes special appearance on my podcast, social media, and special Facebook reader group Dark and Disturbing Fear-Filled Fiction.

You can also get your first set of free stories by signing up to my newsletter. This letter is only for the brave, or at least those brave enough to deal with bad dad jokes, a crude sense of humor, and loads and loads of death.

Derek and I would love to have you join us!

First, a couple thoughts upon finishing my first audio book: I was on a 7+ hour road trip by myself and I loved that I had this option. Second, it's a little odd having a male narrator affect a female voice, when if you're reading the book you can hear whatever voice you want in your head. And final......more

Goodreads review by Chris on July 18, 2013

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be able to read someones mind, to hear their every thought. Might sound good, but it really isn't. Joe Nolan is a Thought Thief, one of many who can hear the though of everyone around him. He is one of many who have that ability, including his father.......more
